Perferred Gun Placment

Kptlt. Neuerburg · 09-19-09, 10:46 AM

Any plane with nose guns is better than a plane that has wing guns because you don't have the convergance factor it basicly point and shoot (general gunnery rules still apply though.). While with a plane that has wing guns you have to adjust the convergance so the bullets hit the target in about the same area. There are planes like the FW-190 have both wing and nose guns which also make it a good plane.

I don't really have a preferred placement, but with nose mounted guns it is easier to hit your targets. However, you get used to the location of the guns and cannons on any aircraft after some practice.

I usually set my convergence range somewhere between 150 - 300 metres, up to 500 if there's a chance of engaging bombers. You don't want to get to close to those turrets, as I've learned from experience...
